Humanity and Me

This is.. Half the ramblings of my 5 AM, sleep deprived mind and half what was an attempted poem about how close evil is to each person and to breaking through to humanity.

As the Black Death enraptures you

In its sticky web of lies,

You find your mem'ries slipping through

The cracks. You will succumb to demise

And that is to be understood.

You slowly forget your past

Like no amount of drinking could.

Yet this time the feelings last.

Unending bliss awaits you here.

Do not be afraid, but take

My hand and bring an end to year

After year of all the fake

Faces you pass on ev'ry street.

Skeptics try and guide you wrong

By giving you thoughts that deplete

What you have known all along.

Rapture will bring you a new hope.

The "Lies" they speak of remain

To be the thoughts that do elope,

Allowing their fear to reign.

It overpowers their instincts

Which is why you should trust me.

Every time a person blinks,

They forget what truth should be.

A tender, nurturing life is

What they view to be "Black Death."

A hypocritical man says

Wretched words with bated breath.

Exaggerations reign supreme

When people only see the lies.

Things may never be what they seem,

Yet no one may realise

That truth is what you make of it.

Although my hand drips black ink,

You'll find your hand a perfect fit

That will bind the severed link

Between Humanity and Me.

I really enjoyed it. I had to read it several times to really absorb its theme. Well done, thank you for sharing!
